==Summary== | |||
Instead of walking, Prophets choose to sit on these levitating thrones most of the time, which would make their lives more comfortable, due to their frail bodies. The [[High Prophets]] have a version which is equipped with a shield that is impervious to nearly all small arms fire. | |||
It is also equipped with a modified version of the [[Hunter]]'s [[Assault Cannon]]. This weapon is called the [[Gravity Cannon]]. It appears that each throne has a holographic projector, the Hierarchs' including a series of small holographic buttons that can perform a variety of commands located on each armrest. | It is also equipped with a modified version of the [[Hunter]]'s [[Assault Cannon]].

Lesser Prophets do not appear to use these thrones as often, but Prophets serving military roles (such as the [[Legate]]) have Gravity Thrones of their own, though the version they use is less advanced (it seems they don't possess weaponry or shielding).

Seemingly, as prophets are granted higher ranks they are given more powerful chairs allowing them to travel in smaller groups. Prophets that are Ministers or above are equipped with gravity thrones that are capable of individual flight.<ref>[[Halo: Contact Harvest]], p. 149</ref> In the [[Halo Wars Demo]] the [[Prophet of Regret]] can be upgraded to use a throne that is capable of powered flight. | ||
